Monte Carlo Simulation Result Tabulation

I am performing a Monte Carlo simulation for 2 soil properties which each having a defined range:

• Poisson's ratio (PR): 0.20<=PR<=0.50
• Young's Modulus (YM): 2<=YM<=250

I want to run this simulation to generate random values for the 2 variables 1000 times and then tabulate the results to show the 1000 combinations of variables. The table would roughly look like:

PR YM

0.23 101

0.46 204

...... .......

I'm not too sure how to write the variables into the table.

N = 1000;

for n = 1:N
    
    % generate a set of random numbers x(0.2, 0.5)
    PR = rand(2,5)/10;
    YM = rand(2,250);
    
end

Thank you for the explanations

% rand(2,5) doesn't do what you seem to think.  Try this
% (with a little extra code that might help you see how to do this in general):
N=1000;
minPR = 0.2;
maxPR = 0.5;
PR = minPR + rand(N,1)*(maxPR - minPR);
minYM = 2;
maxYM = 250;
YM = minYM + rand(N,1)*(maxYM - minYM);
finalTbl = table(PR,YM);

I tried to run this code but it keep giving me

Undefined function 'table' for input arguments of type 'double'.

Please what am i doing wrong sir?

[Jeff Miller]

Probably you are running an older version of MATLAB that does not support the 'table' data type.

I am using the 2013 version of matlab. How then should i have put it if that is the case?

[Jeff Miller]

Just use PR and YM for whatever you want to do with them. It is not essential to put these variables in a table--that was just a convenient data structure that the original poster wanted to use.
